Mary is the resident libertarian. She covers stories in every vertical, but her favorite thing to do is take on the media. She saw its bias against the right when she was a socialist.

Mary loves the Chicago Cubs, Chicago Blackhawks, tennis, cats, Oxford comma, Diet Coke, and needlework.

A Portland school is having an identity crisis. It changed its name from Woodrow Wilson High School to Ida B. Wells High School. (Excellent choice because why anyone would want to commemorate Wilson boggles my mind!) It also voted to change the Trojan mascot. Evergreens topped the list of new mascots, but now some have concerns it has connections to lynching.

60 Minutes "reported" DeSantis engaged in a "pay for play" scheme with Publix. He gave them the contract to distribute COVID vaccinations in exchange for a $100,000 donation. In a statement, Democrat Palm Beach County Mayor Dave Kerner described the 60 Minutes as "intentionally false" and that the news program declined his "insight."

The Department of Homeland Security believes posts by human smugglers on social media platforms have caused the migrant surge at the border. The smugglers connect with the migrants on Facebook, promising safe passage across the border for thousands of dollars.

Democrat Rita Hart announced she will no longer challenge Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks for Iowa's 2nd Congressional District seat. She lost the election by only six votes. The Democrats began to make noise about possibly overturning the election to give Hart the seat.

Lara Trump claimed Facebook removed a video of her interviewing President Donald Trump, her father-in-law, from her show The Right View. Trump posted two emails supposedly from a Facebook employee alerting her about the moves taken in response to her interview.
